NORWICH – Sometimes the best offense is the best defense. And while this game consisted of some crafty passing, timely shots, and well thought out offensive schemes, the highlights of the Tornado’s 67-53 win over STAC East Divisional opponent Chenango Forks was the defensive effort by the Purple Tornado.

Ah yes, there is nothing better than points that come by the venue of hard work. Which is precisely what happened in the first half of the game as the Blue Devils and Tornado each exchanged baskets in a tic for tat basketball chess match. Norwich’s Michael Carson took the first stanza by storm as he executed on a series of drives to the iron and long-range jumpers scoring 10 of his 14 points early in the contest. With Carson as the main Norwich offensive weapon of choice, the Blue Devils defense did their best to limit his offensive-touches.
